Book Review: Customer Reviews: False Economy: A Surprising Economic History of the World

One of the Amazon reviews says it perfectly.

The real suprise with this book is that is was published. The book has no coherent theme or direction. Conclusions are drawn hastily without developing a supporting narrative. Poorly written, and without any factual references. A much better book on a similar theme is The Wealth and Poverty of Nations: Why Some Are So Rich and Some So Poor by David S. Landes.

I agree.  Lots of random facts and no real purpose.
